Entiako Provincial Park is aprovincial park inBritish Columbia,Canada, located on the south flank of theNechako River watercourse .
In 1956, the boundaries ofTweedsmuir Provincial Park were revised so that the area of what is now Entiako Provincial Park could be opened up for resource extraction.[2]
In 1991, the province initiated the Entiako Land and Resource Use Plan in order to address conflict between forestry interests and the need to preserve critical winter habitat forcaribou. After 2 years, management of the area was taken on by the newly initiated Vanderhoof Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) and the Lakes Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP).[2]
About 48,261 hectares of land under the Vanderhoof LRMP was designated aClass A Park in 1999, while about 73,268 hectares of land under the Lakes LRMP was designated aprotected area in 2001 pending finalization of an ecosystem management plan.[2]
